Happy Friday, here’s some metal by having 60% or more of a thing, it’s Lion’s Share playing Pentagram. These guys have been shredding since 1987 and got their start in Sundsvall, Sweden. Their themes are inner struggles, pain, and society. It’d be a kick if the songs about society were that society’s going alright, intermixed with the inner struggles and pain songs.

The band wastes no time getting going, with a solid rhythm driving some great riffs. The vocals have a good edge and fun high notes. I dig the finger tappy noodly as hell guitar solo, especially with the soar halfway through. It’s a good solid throwback to the late 80’s metal, so if you want to rip the sleeves off your jacket and race your trans am, this is the song for you!

The video itself is them in a warehouse or chain manufacturer or something. Lotta steam and hard cuts between band members shredding out. Maybe the chains are holding the singer up, he did say his body is old and that crazy is his game. I like the bassist’s top pony tail, makes it easy to head bang and whatnot. Oh and the singer is an antisocial warrior, warrior. The human race is burned by the pentagram. Lotta messaging going on in this song. Some of the hard contrast and digital artifacting reminds me a bit of Painkiller, maybe they’re trying to riff on it.
